Duplicating the Names of Cities.

The duplication Of names in town and
cities is ole Of the crying evils with which
the people in general and the Post Onlcc
Department in SPECIAL have to deal. Done
very often from the best Of motivcs-such
as the desire to honor the Father Of his
Country, which has dotted the land all over
with Washingtons-it is, from whatever
motive done, stupidity. The idea of
christening an embryo shanty- town on the
Western frontier New York" or Dos
IONS" as has often been done, is absurd, and
tends to make the towD ridiculous when it
,omerges from the village state, to say
nothing OF the embarrassment il sometimes
occasions postal clerks, letter Writers Gpd
merchants.

a.. Wise Words on the Nature Of Our Government
and tho Duty OF Young Men.

Senator Hawlcy, Of Connecticut, In the
course of a recent address to students at
Hamilton College, said: 1T is impossible
tor one who may call himself veteran to
come before aE audience OF young men
without thinking Of their future and the
future of their country. Boys are apt TO
think that if they had lived in the past they
would have stood by Luther, have stood by
Cromwell have stood by Christ. l am not
sure they would. Most of the men of those
times did not. But even now Christ is con
stantly being crucilicd, constantly needs
defenders.
| do not believe in this discomfort with the
present. nor in this agitation for constant
change. There is one thing you may be
certain Of. we are bound irrcvOCably to the
experiment Of a government under which
we shall have universal suffrage. SO it is
well for you as thinking men TO examine,
not only your religious belief but also your
political belief Great Britain is driving
ahead like Il ship in Il gale. Men forget
that the constitution Of England is not so
perfect as our own. There is, not so safe
ami conservative governmental the world
as ours. In forty-cight hours an unruly
parliament could effect revolution and
overthrow the government of Great Bri

Further on he said: Il am very impa

The old saying that what is one maLl's
meat is another mans poison, is realize d
in the opposite tastes of people. The
Turks shudder at the thought of eating
oysters The Digger Indians of the Pa
cific coast rejoiced in the great locust
swarms of 1875 as dispensation of the
Great Spirit, and laid in store of dried
locust powder sufficient to last them for
several years. The French will eat frogs,
snails and the diseased liver of geese, but
draw the line at alllgators. auckland de-
clares the taste OF the Demonstration to
be good, and much like veal. Quass, the
fermented cabbage water Of the Russians,
is their popular tipple. It is described as
resembling q mixture Of stale fish and
JOaDSuds in taste, yet, next to beer, it has
more VotarieS than other fermented bev-
erages. A tallow candle. washed down
with quass, forms meal that it would be
hard to be thankful for. In Canton and
other Chinese cities rats are sold at the
rate OF IS. a dozen, and the hind quarters
of the dog are hung up in the butchers
shop alongside of mutton and lamb, but
command higher price The edible
bird s nests Of the Chinese are worth twice

negroes 02 the West Indies eat baked
snakes and palm worms fried in fat, but
they cannot be induced 90 eat stewed rab-
bits. In Mexico parrots are eaten, but
they are rather tough. The Guachos OF the
Argentine Republic are in the habit OF
hunting skunks for the sake Of their flesh.
The octopus Or devil fish when boiled and
then roasted is eaten in Corsica and es-
teemed q delicacy. In the Pacific Islands
and West Indies lizard eggs are eaten with
gusto. The natives Of the Antilles eat al
ligator eggs, and the eggs OF the turtle are
popular everywhere, though up TO the COM
mencement of the last century turtle was
only eaten by the poor people of Jamaica.
Ants are eaten by various nations. In
Brazil they are served with a resnOus
sauce, ana in Africa they are stewed with
grease or butter. The East Indians catch

ant eggs is a costly luxury. The Cingalese
eat the bees after robbing them Of their
honey. Caterpillars and spiders are dain-
ties TO the African bushmen. After they

Spiders roasted are sort of dessert with

more anc more distressing. We were fire.

flnaliy, we called other physicians, until no
less than six had attempted to cure him., all
alike failing, and the child steadily getting
worse and worse, until about the Goth of last
July, when we began to give him CUTICURA
KFsoLyENT internally, and the CUTIcURA and

Our work and fortune like our happi-
ness, are within ourselves. They who
look within to see what they are capable
of doing, or what they can do that nobody
elsse is doing, instead of hunting without
for a chance to do something that every
body else is doing. will succeed. This is
what starts new business, new inventions,
new productions.
